1,280 × 720 pixels in inches at every common resolution
The physical size depends entirely on the density you print or display at — these are the values people look up most.
| Resolution | Width × height in inches | In centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| 72 PPI | 17.778 × 10 | 45.156 × 25.4 |
| 96 PPI | 13.333 × 7.5 | 33.867 × 19.05 |
| 150 PPI | 8.5333 × 4.8 | 21.675 × 12.192 |
| 300 PPI | 4.2667 × 2.4 | 10.837 × 6.096 |
| 600 PPI | 2.1333 × 1.2 | 5.4187 × 3.048 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 1,280 × 720 pixels at 96 PPI that is 1,280 ÷ 96 = 13.333 and 720 ÷ 96 = 7.5.
1,280 × 720 is HD.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 4.2667 × 2.4 inches; on a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 13.333 × 7.5 inches.
That is 0.92 megapixels in total, in 16:9 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 10.837 × 6.096 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 1,280 × 720 pixels (HD)?
13.333 × 7.5 inches at 96 PPI, 8.5333 × 4.8 inches at 150 DPI and 4.2667 × 2.4 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 1,280 × 720 pixels print at 300 DPI?
4.2667 × 2.4 inches, which is 10.837 × 6.096 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 1,280 × 720 pixels in centimetres?
33.867 × 19.05 cm at 96 PPI, or 10.837 × 6.096 cm at 300 DPI.
Should these pixels be printed at 300 DPI?
Yes, if the print is held or read close up. At 300 DPI they cover 4.2667 × 2.4 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 8.5333 × 4.8 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 1,280 × 720 a 16:9 ratio?
Yes. That is 16:9, which is not a standard print shape: the closest is a 4 × 6 print, and fitting it means losing about 16% along the long edge.
What is the largest standard print 1,280 × 720 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 4.2667 × 2.4 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 8.5333 × 4.8.
